What would going from a say a 10" spindle height to a 11" on the LF do to handling? What if it was more drastic like say 9" to 11?

What about on the RF?

This is on a camaro clip car with 2x3 frame, 3link.

Its going to change your front Roll Center height if you went with taller spindles on both sides. If you only change one it will alter the RC height slightly but move the RC to the left or right depending on the side changed. So if you move the RC to the left, you are going to roll over harder on the RF and the opposite if you go the other way.

Will it do anything about dynamic camber?

Increasing the static angle in the upper A arm is going to have an effect on camber gain but its also going to change the front RC height and location, so you have to weigh what you are trying to do and what effect that will have on other things.
